hotel in the heart of tsim sha tsui. if you want to maximize your stay in hong kong then this is the hotel for you. last minute booking afforded a reasonable price with agoda. the rooms are small but bathrooms are modern and shower was great. close to nathan road which is main road in kowloon side of hong kong. the mtr station is 3 blocks away or a nice 10 minute easy ...

must start with - splendid breakfast - reminded me of my past life in england. we were on tour to china and had our return flight from hong kong, which is just 45 minutes from shenzhen in china as opposed to above 1.5 hours for guangzhou - for international flights, and thus had just one night to spend in hong kong. earlier we thought to save some money - lookin...

From Sept 15th to 17th, I stayed in this wonderful Hotel together with my wife and 4 colleagues (we were on a company trip). This is my 3rd trip to Hong Kong and I must say although I paid much more for the previous 2 hotels in Hong Kong Island, but this is by far the best hotel I have ever stayed in Hong Kong or anywhere else! From the airport, we chose to take Bus n...

Opened in 1981 and today one of the finest luxury five star hotels in Hong Kong, The Royal Garden has 417 contemporary guest rooms, including 48 spacious and luxurious suites. Reflecting a mission of absolute quality and a promise of utmost comfort – a home-away-from-home for each and every guest, all guest rooms and suites feature Samsung LED televisions, custom-d...

I had an amazing stay at Harbour Grand Hong Kong hotel. I was unable to accomplish all my tasks during a day's business trip to Hong Kong, therefore had to make a last minute booking. Because of the Chinese Dragon Boat festival, all Hong Kong's hotels were very expensive and busy that day, and the price for a 3 star hotel was almost the same as the price I found on ago...

We stayed at the langham place hotel in Hong Kong for two nights in November 2009. It was well located next to a large shopping Mall where a good selection of Restaurants could be found in the food hall that served a good breakfast and evening meals at a reasonavle price. The hotel was within a few minutes walk of the MTR which was well priced, clean and ran on time. W...

This trip to Hong Kong,I had decided to make a change from the past, move away from downtown Tsim Shai Tsui to a more relax location. I was greatly surprised by the large room offered by this hotel. General hotels in Hong Kong have rather small room. Park hotel is ideal if one is looking for some greenery instead of the concrete jungle .Although it is located far from...

Butterfly on Prat was amazing. It was easy to get to, close to a lot of stores, restaurants, and places to see, and the staff was superb - friendly and efficient! We were a family of 5 (with 3 adult children), and the 2 rooms we got was kinda small for the us kids. Too bad all the twin bed rooms were fully booked, that would've been better. But that one little discomf...

the hotel it self is really great. it is hard to find a decent size swimming pool in the hotels in hong kong, but the one is royal view hotel is perfect. i went to the gym in daytime and it is almost no one there. how good is that! i have stayed in many 3-4 stars hotels in hong kong, this one is the best in terms of facilities and size of the room. it gives me a fe...

This location was exactly what you'd expect out of a BW Hotel in Hong Kong: great facilities, extremely helpful staff, a very comfortable room with a very functional design. Your options for shopping and eating in Tsim Tsa Shui are unlimited, as either direction you step from one of the exits will lead you to tantalizing choices. It's for that reason we declined to tak...

I was only there one day but could see that it is a top-class hotel. It has al the mod-cons in the room including a massive LED TV with a welcoming message for you and even speakers in the bathroom. Going to this hotel also really helped as I arrived at about 1am in Hong Kong and so didn't need to look for taxis or late-night transport and then hassle with check-ins ...

I was highly impressed by Auberge Hotel. This is a brand new hotel in its "soft" opening phase. Large rooms, very comfortable, spotlessly clean, everything is new. The breakfast buffet was outstanding, great value. Just be aware that you CAN'T catch a taxi to this hotel because Discovery Bay is a car-free zone. The only way to get there is by ferry from Central then b...

It was our first time in Hong Kong so we decided to get a 4 Star Hotel. After arriving at Hong Kong airport it took us a few minutes to find the Harbour Center Counter, but after we found it, we felt taken care of already. Cost us HKD$140 each for the airport shuttle to the Hotel, it was a fairly large bus, and it only seated a few of us. This is where we learned that ...

the bp international hotel is the perfect hotel to those who wish to visit hongkong for shopping, sight seeing, food tripping, or simply just getting to know its cultural heritage. the hotel can be reached either via taxi cab or mtr from the airport. it's location is very strategic. every necessity could be obtained in a walking distance (money exchange, 7-eleven conve...

We came through Hong Kong for business. Two families, each with an infant. What we wanted was a hotel in Hong Kong that was decently priced and had a swimming pool for the children. This hotel is well-designed and well-maintained. Front desk staff are very professional. There is an hourly shuttle which takes you to/from Tsim Sha Tsui (Peninsula Hotel). In our opi...

GDH nailed it, again. Check in was a breeze, as always. I had booked an Executive again, and was totally surprised to have been upgraded to a 1 bedroom on the Executive Floor (16). Simply outstanding, especially for the price. GREAT bed, AWESOME bathroom, and comfortable amenities. The location is spot on for pretty much anything anybody would want to do in Hong Kong a...

All hotel rooms in Hong Kong tend to be very small and those in this hotel are no exception, so don’t expect more room than is absolutely necessary. Having said that, the rooms were very well laid out and full of the latest gadgets – they were also clean, comfortable and ergonomically perfect and much better than in some of the ones we have stayed in on Hong Kong Islan...

tsim sha tsui is the place to stay for leisure travellers looking to do some shopping in hong kong. there are countless hotels in tst, but the gateway is my top choice given its location, price and quality of service. the gateway is surrounded by malls and shops, being situated along canton road, and accessible through the harbor center mall. at night, visitors can hav...

Firstly, I loved the location of the hotel. I was pleasantly surprised to find it so near to the mtr exit! It is always a walkable distance to mongkok which is a plus point for me. To top it all off, we were very welcomed by the staff of Inn hotel who was very friendly and helpful. We managed to get the room ok the 30th floor which has a superb view (the harbour). Not ...

Hotel rooms in Hong Kong hotels are notoriously small, and the "superior" rooms in the Metropark hotel at 21 sq.m. are just adequate. However, the staff is universally excellent, and the service first-rate. If you want a double bed, you had better phone or e-mail ahead of time, because otherwise there may be none available when you check in. The hotel's location is con...

Regal Riverside's glory comes in it's design which is straightforward, convenient and relaxing whilst maintaining a charmingly simple but elegant style. I think it is perfect for families on holiday and tour groups whether they be your conventional tour group or school groups (we saw a few groups and they looked quite pleased). The hotel itself has a welcoming and plea...

the prudential hotel is the hotel that i stay at all the time when i stay in hong kong. the location is ideal as it sits on top of the jordan mtr station. it's also centrally located on nathan road with shopping and restaurants on either side of the street. the rooms are clean and modern however they are small. the hotel is reasonably priced for hong kong hotels. my ra...

This is my second time in Hong Kong for 2012. Compared to my previous trip, this hotel is definitely much more comfortable in terms of the area. Location was rather convenient as well as there is the Airport Express Shuttle Bus (H2) available. (To and fro from Hong Kong station). The hotel service staff were warm and friendly and have a good command of English. The...

Well , so far this is the best service I get from overseas hotel. No language barrier as the staff is able to communicate in English fluent. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The luggage was send to the room after I check in to the room 5 mins. Fast service. Room was average size compared with other Hong Kong hotel. So far this is the best hotel I stayed in Hong ...

The hotel is one of the better ones that we had stay in Hong Kong. It is : 1) To get to the hotel from the airport is so convenient. By taking the public bus, it takes us almost to the doorsteps of the hotel. 2) Local food is all around. It is so convenient to have a taste of Hong Kong by stepping out of the hotel. 3) Public transport to other parts of Hong Kong is so ...

The Shamrock Hotel is an excellent choice for those looking for a low-to-average cost hotel. The staff at the reception speak very good English and the rooms are relatively spacious for a Hong Kong hotel in Kowloon of similar standards. The rooms are also very clean and comfortable, and comes with a safe in the closet. Bathtubs are a bit small, but proportionate to the...

This hotel is an ultimate in luxury. Pleasantly surprised!! They upgraded our room to a suite which is a right timing, we went to Hong Kong for my wife's birthday. My wife had a great time celebrating her birthday there. You brought joy to her special day, 🎂Thank you for your Sweet Thoughtful GIFT! 🎁 Our stay at Park Hotel Hong Kong. was full of joy. Loved it! Br...

The hotel is located right on top of the China Hong Kong Harbour. There are routes to Macao, Zhuhai, Shenzhen and others.. I believe it is quite convenient for business traveler from the Pearl Delta. There is also a great shopping mall just below the hotel. It is very convenient to shop and fetch a ferry back to Macao. Canton Road and Marina corridor, Star Avenue are a...
Cheap places to stay in Hong Kong SAR

It was my first time to travel abroad and me and my colleague have limited budget hence we have to book in a cheaper place where we could stay for four days and three nights. We booked at Ashoka Hostel because based on my readings, they got good reviews and positive feedbacks from tourists who have been there. We weren’t wrong for checking-in at Ashoka. When we arri...

The location is superb and close to supermarkets, banks and subway. There is free boiling water, snacks and drinks, and free laundry. The staff are super accommodating and the place is well run. The facilities are good but the place is small - this is to be expected in Hong Kong, surely? Would recommend

1.) Location and staff The location of this hostel is excellent, steps away from the MTR and few hundred meters away from the ferry to Central. The staff are nice and hospitable enough to show us the room. 2.) Comfort First of all, understand that this is Hong Kong:- floor area is a scarcity and very expensive in this country. The room that i experienced was very smal...

Room are very clean convenient for shopping, transportation .Middle of hong kong so easy to go to anywhere in hong kong Specially good for branded and local Shopping all kind of food you can find near around the place excellent experience. Travelers staff helped me to book all my tickets for ocean park Disney land.

The stay in this hotel is good. Basically it is a budget hostel and it allows you to stay with cheaper price compared to other 3 to 4 stars hotel in Hong Kong. The hotel is very clean and the security system is consider not bad. Fast internet is another good thing to share. Besides, the hostel is centrally located at Tsim Sha Tsui where we can access to anywhere via th...

When we checked in on that day, we saw the rooms we booked was really small and not even to put our luggage. Luckily the host, Andy was very kind to us and allowed us to change our 5 units of room to service apartment at Mongkok and Youmati and paid the taxi fare for us from New Lucky to the apartment and without additional services charge. we all stayed there happy fo...

I'd highly recommend this place over others in Hong Kong, very cheap for the money and our room was clean, although tiny. The location is in a very convenient part of Hong Kong just across the water from Central and near a subway stop, the only reason I give Location 3 stars is because it is located inside Chungking Mansion where many other hostels are located, and you...

The staff in this hostel are very accommodating. When I booked it, I also send a confirmation letter to the owner for assurance and he immediately make a reply on it. Thanx Mr. Sunny. The attendant "Che" (not sure with the spelling of her name) is so nice also to speak with us maybe because we are "kababayans" Thanx for attending to our needs. Affordable in a sense it'...

When we travel, we always look for a place that gives as convenience because we travel to relax. Woodstock hotel is the best place I stayed in Hong Kong. The transportation is very accessible from Taxi to MTR or bus. And the restaurants also are very near like if you are looking for a fastfood, there's McDonalds and Jollibee. And if you want fine dining, Sky Lounge of ...

I booked a single room here, in Block A ChungKing Mansions, because I wanted to see what the dormitory rooms were like, seem quite ok. I had changed travel plans, and was able to stay a night earlier than booked; Li’s Chain Hostel has replied via Agoda, agreeing that, and the Check in was very easy. I was offered a reasonable priced upgrade to double en-suite room, whi...

Hostel is located inside the famous Chunking mansion. Everyone in Hong Kong knows about this building. Near to metro right middle of city. It's a building with more than 50plus hostels ( infact 90percent of hostels in Agoda are inside this building ) shops, money exchange, restaurants are available downstairs. If you're aim is to stay at hotel all the time durin...

Compared with other hotels with similar room rates the Day and Night Hotel is the best one in the whole of Hong Kong, as well as all other hotels belonging to the Dhillon Group, as I stated already in my previous reviews written 2012-2015. The WiFi is fast, the rooms are clean and who thinks they are too small doesn't know Hong Kong, and most importantly the staff is v...

It was fine to me with this price. My room wasn't bad except it's very small which is normal for guesthouse in Hong Kong. They allowed me to leave luggages before I checked-in and after I checked-out. Location is very convenient in mid of Tsim Sha Tsui and a minute walk from exit N5 of MTR Tsim Sha Tsui. If you look for something cheap, here is ok.

I stayed at Fortunate Guesthouse for a week. I was blown away by how great the staff was. Very friendly! And she was constantly changing the linens for me, and providing me with new towels, and in general keeping the place clean and tidy. I would often come back at night to find her cleaning the bathrooms or other facilities. Cheap with a good location - you can't get ...

The ground floor of Chungking Mansions is very crowded and full of merchants and stores, run mostly by South Asians. This area is a smorgasbord of people from all parts of the world, with a considerable number of Indians, Africans, as well as Caucasians and East Asians. The lifts were tiny, with room for up to only seven people, and the lines were long especially durin...

One thing you have to realize is that this is Hong Kong and real estate is super expensive, so being a couple backpacker it was hard to find an affordable price without compromising the quality of the hotel too much if you know what I mean. But I must say I lucked out with New London Hotel who apparently also owned Marigold hotel in another block. As you would expect i...

I always stay at one of the hotels of Dhillon Group when I'm in Hong Kong, like the Days Hotel or Day and Night Hotel. The rooms are the best in the area among budget hotels, although small, but in a top condition and clean, and equipped with not only the basic things like air conditioning but also sometimes a fridge or safe, depending on the room, the hot water of the...

This isn't a hotel! So I wasnt expecting much, especially becoz many friends mention that the mansion is not exactly the best building in the area. But Tom's exceeds my expectation. I've been travelling to many places, Tom's surely is one of the cleanest. If you stay here and wanting to complain, let me remind you again: this isn't a hotel! It's a guest house, in the m...

An honest review for a choosy traveller: First- the location is great because it is at the center of a tourists interests site. Although Jordan (near temple street) can also be an option because it just a few minutes walk away, the location of this this hotel is a lot closer to the harbour going to Macau, canton road for shopping and other attractions like the avenue ...

We stayed at the Unique Hotel for 3 nights in August during a two week trip in Hong Kong, in our experience if you're going to stay in the Chung King Mansions then this is the place to stay! Kumar the owner is very friendly and nice as were the cleaning staff. This place is located in the semi-infamous Chung King Mansions, you'll probably read horror stories online ab...

I was just over-nighting on my way to Mainland China and Dhillon Hotel is in a good location for me as a way-station between the airport and the East Rail Line to China. The staff here are friendly and will help you out. One example: I was up in the middle of the night and needed a new battery for the mouse on my computer and one of the gentlemen at the front desk kind...

The management of cebu hostel are very hospitable, accomodating and are happy people. There was one time in hong kong last 2017 when there is difficulty in booking hotels so i tried looking for a hostel to temporary stay thats the time i tried Cebu Hostel thinking the owner is a Filipino but when i meet the owner he's not a Filipino but they are very friendly and the ...

Asia Inn is one of the most conveniently located Inns I've stayed in Hong Kong. I love the fact that going to HK from TST via Ferry was very fast and very easy. Just a lite warning though, if you're not that queezy about staying in a lplace with a lot of Indians and Africans, this is your digs. Asia Inn is very easy to find, just hop on an A21 bus from the airport a...

We stayed in one of Butterfly's deluxe room and were given a room showing off the Hong Kong skyline and Happy Valley race course. The hotel is a 5/10 minute walk from Time Square and in a great location. Rooms are super clear with funky designs. Internet is good and easy to connect to without password or restrictions. There's was also a good selection of channels on t...

Although our taxi driver did his best to suggest we were staying in the worst area of Hong Kong we loved the location! Literally on the doorstep of the local food market with an original and genuine view of real life in Hong Kong; this location was perfect for us.. 2 mins walk to Kings Road where you were in the heart of north point and its shops, cafe's, restaurants a...

My husband and I decided to take a few days off to Hong Kong without our children, we have been to Hong Kong many times and stay in various hotels within the centre area. Hong Kong hotels are typically expensive with tiny space and get-by-only-mordern-decoration with no details. So for the same price range, I considered Nathan hotel to be a really worth-the-value dea...

Tsim Sha Tsui (sounds a little like chim sha choi when natives say it) in Hong Kong is right across the water from Hong Kong Central and is the heart of shopping and entertainment. This hotel is perfectly placed to take advantage of that. If, like us, you plan to spend little time in your room, and want to be where the action is, this will be a good choice. That said, ...

if you're planning to stay at the tsim sha tsui area, then the ymca salisbury hotel is highly recommended. it offers great value for money considering its location, and depending on the type of room you book, it affords you a view of the victoria harbor, which nearby 5-star hotels also offer at a considerably higher price. and while it would be unfair to compare the y...

I would say it is the Best Price ever if you would like to have a short stay in Hong Kong only for some good sleeping time every night. The location is fantastic. You can walk to Centre. The variety and food around the hotel are good and value for money. Hong Kong is small! You can not expect to have a large room like when you are doing a budget traveling in Unite...

Guandong Hotel is located just in the heart of Hong Kong which made it perfect for leisure and business travel as well. The staff are very courteous. Its not a busy hotel which makes it perfect even to bring family along. What is interesting is that they have refurbished the rooms and even the lobby is now more welcoming. Arriving at the hotel surely feels like com...

I have stayed in many hotels in Hong Kong and chose this because its a great location, easy for transportation and close to Wanchai's famous computer centre. It turned out to be a great find because the room is just so well designed. Lots of nice veneers, a fabulously comfortable bed, electric outlets everywhere (even in a storage area above the cupboards!), nice wal...

We stayed in Hong KOng for four days and i am glad i chose this place. i have read reviews before, and although there are hundreds of positive, glowing reports, i read the negative reviews. and you know what? those people probably are just miserable old people.

Hotel Vic on the Harbour is probably one the best value for money hotels in Hong Kong. At the time of this review the hotel was only three months old and as you might imagine, the rooms are very modern have great amenities and are remarkably clean. North Point is not in the main touristy parts of Hong Kong which has its advantages. However, between the free hotel shutt...

We chose this hotel as a friend in Hong Kong lives nearby. We had a twin room which had two double beds which provided ample space for my wife and I and our 5 year old son. The room was spacious by Hong Kong standards and the bathroom was modern and well-equipped with a bathtub and separate shower cubicle. The harbour view from our room looked out across to the old ...

We had a good stay at this hotel. The rooms are decent-sized - for Hong Kong. Like the free internet, and the iPod player in the room. We were given a free upgrade to a harbor view room which was much appreciated. The staff were very friendly.

Hong Kong is a mere 1 hour and 40 minutes flight away from Manila so it is a frequent destination for me and my family.
